Professor Earl Honeycutt, Elon University's 2008-2009 Distinguished Scholar, will give a presentation tonight in the LaRose Digital Theatre on the role of academic research in a university setting and whether such research is a “selfish” pursuit or an essential activity that allows a professor to remain on the cutting edge of their discipline and mentor future scholars.
